Why is Healthy Eating important for children?
 

Healthy Eating in early childhood is essential for a child’s good health, growth and development. Healthy eating in childhood reduces the risk of chronic diseases, obesity and some cancers. It is important that children develop good eating habits when they are young since these tend to follow through into adulthood, impacting both short and long term health.

Early years care settings have a crucial role to play in creating a healthy nutritional environment and deliver healthy eating messages. These Healthy Eating Cue Cards provides helpful tips to encourage those 1-4 years old in your care to eat well.
